બેઠક Bethak

સુતરના તાંતણે નથી કે તોડી નાંખીએ.

sutaranā tāṁtaṇē nathī kē tōḍī nāṁkhīē.

Literally
It is not a cotton thread that we can just snap it.
What it means
Deep relationships or serious commitments cannot be easily broken off like a fragile string.

  • સુતા જેવું સુખ નહીં, ને મુવા જેવું દુઃખ નહીં.
